' The lever-handles A- and'A are pivotally connected with each other by a pivot B, and

are pivotallyqconnected with jaws C and D,

having their rear ends formed with elongated slots C D engaged by pivot-pins E E, carried-on the lever-handles A A in the rear of the pivot B. A spring F engages with its ends the rear ends of the jaws C and D, so

\ that when the lever-handles A and A are pressed thejaws O and D are moved toward each other, and when the pressure on the -lever-handles is released the spring F moves the handles and the jaws C and D into an open position, .it being understood/that the movement of the jawsC and- D is a parallel movement, both while opening and closing.

The extreme forward end of the jaw D is provided with a cup G, and on the extreme forward end of the jaw C is held a pivot H, on

, which is mounted to turn a transversely-extending punch-head I, preferably in theform of a disk, and carrying on its peripheral face a plurality of radially-disposed punches J, eit

The punch-head I is held against turning.

after the corresponding punchJ is brought into the desired position, and for this purpose a locking-pin K is provided, mounted to slide lon itudinally in a suitable bearin carried on t e forward end of the jawO.

spring K presses the locking-pin K so-as to engage the forward end thereof with one of a series of recesses I, arranged in a circle on the rear face of the punch-head I, the recesses bein so arranged relative to the punches J t at when one of the latter is in alinement with the cup G then a corresponding' recess I is in alinementwith the lockin pinK-that is, is engagedby the latter to hoId the punch-head I against turnin or handle K attached to the IOcking pin K, is adapted to be engaged by the operator to, move the locking-pin K out of engagement with the recess I to allow of turning the punch-head I to the desired'position that is, to permit of placing close-fitting jewels in proper position or removing the unch J into Aknob same therefrom without danger of marring 1 or otherwise injuring the same.
